A/N: my first post of the new year! Woohoo! Happy New Year! Anyway, as always a word from our sponsor, Bonky the Dinosaur (and yes, I am completely sober)

LilVickiRyan: TJ is a guy, so he is oblivious! Lol! Keep reading to see what happens!

Jewlz555: Will they, or won't they? That is the question..

Damson rhee: glad you liked this, girl talk really helps sometimes!

Anyway, here we are with the shocking confessions of our hero, TJ Detweiler!

TJ slammed the car door shut, not caring if he broke the windows in it. It wasn't like he would be using it much longer, considering Spinelli was kicking him out. He ignored the looks of his friends as he followed Vince into the apartment.

"Dude, what in the hell was that back there? Your best friend gives you all the love and support in the world and you treat her as if she's a piece of trash. What kind of ungrateful bastard are you?" Vince demanded, narrowing his eyes at TJ.

"She practically kicked me out of the apartment! She might as well have thrown my clothes out the window and waved goodbye. It is so obvious Spinelli wants me out, so if that's the case, I'm leaving. She will no longer have to worry about having me as her roommate. In fact, I won't even be her friend, she can forget all about me for all I care!" TJ growled, practically shaking the walls with his voice.

"TJ, you are a fucking idiot! How blind are you? Spinelli loves you, she wants you to be happy. If you weren't being so selfish and opened your blind blue eyes for one fucking minute, you would see how upset she was. The poor girl was in tears, almost. You leaving her is going to kill her! Why are you being so stupid?" Gus stopped to take a breath, noticing the looks of shock on his friends' faces. They rarely ever saw him get mad, let alone curse, so nobody knew quite how to react. "Sorry, Teej, I kind of go nuts when I see people being stupid, especially over love."

"It's ok, it's just that, I was kind of hoping she would beg me to stay. I mean after the two amazing nights we shared, I was hoping things would go to the next level, but I guess I blew it. Man, I am such an idiot!" TJ hit his head with his hand, still not processing the fact that Spinelli really loved him

"No, you aren't, you just---wait what two nights? You and Spinelli bonked didn't you??" Mikey smiled. "How wonderful, two friends finding----"

"Mikey, no, we did not have sex, and please don't ever refer to it as bonking again. Dude, you need to stop watching Golden Girls reruns." (A/N: I got the word bonk from a line in an episode of the Golden Girls)

"Then what nights are you talking about that you never even told me about. Dude, I tell you everything-including where our baby was conceived!" Vince looked at his friend, "Now spill!"

"OK, since you had to hit me like that, reminding me of such disturbing information, I'll tell you. OK, basically, New Years Eve, we were both drunk, ended up making out, would have gone for the home run, but I stopped it so I wouldn't hurt her. Two weeks later, we ended up making out again in some friend's room after a party. We were both drinking, and didn't want to drive home. We never discussed it, but it made me realize how much I love her. And now she probably hates me. I don't know what to do, guys. Should I stay, or should I go?"

There was a moment of silence, and the boys looked at each other, wondering what advice they should give their friend. Finally, Gus spoke up.

"Teej, you should do what you think is best. Maybe this is a test for you two, to see if you are truly meant to be together. God does things for a reason, and maybe this happened to show you and Spinelli whether or not you are supposed to be together. I think you should go. I'm not saying to leave her behind," he quickly added, when he noticed TJ about to protest, "I'm saying to go, and see what happens between you two. You never know, things might become stronger for you two."

"No, he needs to stay, he needs to wait for Spin to graduate, then they can go together, I'm sure if these Paul and Joe guys want him so bad, they can wait for him for three months." Vince argued.

"Why doesn't he stay, and see if they can have him work at a New York station," Mikey countered. "Then his dreams will come true, and he will be with his one true love!"

"Or why don't we let TJ come up with a decision of his own?" TJ glared at them. The three men looked up. They had gotten so involved with their debate, they had forgotten TJ was still there.

"So what are you going to do, TJ?" Vince asked.

TJ sighed, coming to a decision. It was going to be hard, but he knew it was something he had to do, even if it meant leaving everything and everyone behind. "I'm going to go," TJ said, his mind still processing the decision. "I'm going to go, and hope that one day Spinelli and I are reunited. I love her with all my heart, but this is something I have been dreaming of since I was little, and I don't think I can pass it up. I know she will support me in this, she always has, and I know she always will, even if it means I will be half a country away."

The boys looked at him in awe, knowing how difficult it was for him to make such a difficult choice. But they also had a feeling that it wasn't the end for TJ and Spinelli.
